Used cell phone may have cost a man his life. We have learned that a man was killed at a gas station at east 14th street and 159th avenue in san leandro. We are told the gas station was a meeting spot for two people making a deal to sell a used phone. But for some reason, one of the two pulled a weapon and shot the other. The gunman took off. We dont know yet if the person killed was buying or selling the phone. It has been more than a month since the wildfires devastated parts of the north bay and now with the hollands approaching many holidays approaching many fire victims still have no place to call home. We have more from snow sonoma where officials are bringing in animals to help the kids. They are trying to make things as normal as possible for the fire survivors as we head into the Holiday Season. Right now is the Tree Lighting ceremony at the historic sonoma plaza. They are putting a focus on the fire survivors as well with government agency, neighbors, everybody pitching in to make sure this Holiday Season is as easy for them as possible. It has been hard for the vitale family to smile after losing their santa rosa house. But seeing the kids faces light up, it is a relief for dad, rich. All of the guys were excited about the animals. It is helpful. It is nice. It was a great surprise. His name is chili. Chili. The family came to the santa rosa fema office to file a claim. We havent really thought too much about christmas yet. What we are going to do, the kids lost all of their little treasures. Fema partnered up with animal trainers to make it easier for the kids when their parents come in for help. After a wildfire, it could be devastating to individuals and families, and especially children. Oh, my goodness. The trainers brought in the desert fox, a camel and a bush baby. Bush babies are primarily found in eastern africa. My sister smiles a lot now. And sometimes it is infectious. And you share it with one another. And it boosts the spirits of everybody. The holiday cease condition be stressful. Even more so now that the kids are asking when they can go home. And if santa will be able to find them, come christmas. I think he is confident santa will find us. He has been talking about writing letters to santa. Neighbors are also pitching in. Dozens of people throughout the town with what they call the garage nonsale. Folks put out furniture, clothes, toys, and food, so fire victims could pick up items for free. We are going to sign a lease at a place to live today. It was great timing for this couple. They came to look for essential items to furnish their new apartment. We have nothing. And it is just heart warming. Wow. The vitale family plans to rebuild saying they have the most important pieces. What is important is our family. And thats what we have. And thats all we need. Now, aside from a central item, fema also wants to help folks who are dealing with mental stress. So we want to put up a number, the crisis counseling hot line, the 1800 number on your screen and they are saying if anybody has any the fire victims and survivors especially, if theyre dealing with mental trauma, to call that number, and just to talk with someone. And now, back here at this Tree Lighting ceremony, we are talking about hundreds of people here at the historic plaza, and when i was here a month ago, a lot of staff face, very somber, and today, a lot of happy face, a lot of excitement here. The kids are happy to be here. So it is a very different scene. And this is a good thing. Because this is part of the Recovery Process for Sonoma County. And napa county. Live in downtown sonoma, kpix 5. It is a good thing. Thanks so much. Cal fire crews in Sonoma County are racing to get the scorched hillsides ready for the stormy weather. They installed culverts to help prevent flood. Officials say flood risks will be high in the burn zone areas until vegetation is restored up to five years. And a crisis in puerto rico, with a donation drive in san jose this weekend will help victims of hurricane maria. You can drop off donations at about a dozen fire stations. Some of the most important items needed include baby food, diapers, batteries, flashlights, and water filters. San jose officials and Community Organizers are supporting the twoday event. Anything that we can do in san jose, and anything we can do throughout the united states, and the world, would be a benefit to the people of puerto rico. The donation drive continues all i dont tomorrow, from 9 00 to 4 00. And right now, Berkeley Police are looking for a group of thieves behind a string of crimes. And police say robbers targeted five pedestrians in just the past week. All of those crimes happened at night. And all of them happened near the cal campus. In menlo park, a u. S. Postal Service Truck catches fire, the flames completely destroyed the roof and the first part of the vehicle. Nobody was hurt but some of the mail got singed. This leader, leaders of the California Democratic party are meeting in San Francisco and they have strong words against sexual harassment. But some say the partys actions dont exactly match. Kpix 5 political reporter melissa kaine explains. Reporter in 2009, an assembleman was ordered to stay away from a female staffer following a report he followed the woman and grabbed her breasts. Today he is in a position of leadership in the democratic party. We asked, should he be allowed to keep his leadership role . We believe in due process in this country. This is not due process. This is a back room protection family where elected officials have no self control. Strong words from candidates from office, like delane i think people have to be held accountable. Not everyone was so clear. The Party Chairman eric bowman would not give his opinion. That is a decision the speaker has to make. My comment about what i believe mr. Bocanegra needs to do is look at his own heart and figure out whether he believes he can be effective or not, and make a decision, perhaps talking with the speaker. But he did manage to point out how long ago the harassment happened. Now, remember, that incident occurred eight years before he was in the legislature, so or eight years ago, eight years ago, which was three years before he was in the legislature. Did he say anything to you about advice . What would you tell him . Think very deeply. Think about how he can serve his constituents best. The Senate President protem kevin deleon deferred to the speaker of the assembly. That part, i have no jurisdiction over. Because he is on the assembly side. And not on the senate side. But deleon did take action against a senator, tony mendosa, whose three former aides have accused of inappropriate sexual behavior. I made a decision to remove him from his chairmanship as well as other boards and commission that he currently serves on. At least for now. It is going to be an independent investigation that will be conducted with regards to the allegations that have been made towards this person. So we will let that process work itself out. We have heard reports that anthony rendon, the Assembly Speaker is considering demoting bocanegra from that leadership position. But so far, that speaker is not speak can. In San Francisco, melissa kaine, kpix 5. De finally reopens coming up, a bay area road washed away after being hit by a landslide. Finally reopens today. Plus, thousands of trees will soon be tumbling to the ground. Why these onetime sierra beauties have been marked as crews prepare to cut them down. And fresh snow in the sierras. Skiers and snowboarders hit the slopes on opening day. More where that came from . We will find out there. Is rain on the way. When we have the forecast, after our break. Young and his brother, angus founded the heavy metal band ac dc. They were inducted rock and roll legend malcolm young. Young and his brother founded the heavy metal band ac dc and they were inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame in 2003 with highway to hell and you shook me all night long. Young was suffering from dementia. He was just 64. And david cassidy, is in failing health. The 67yearold former Partridge Family member was rushed to a Florida Hospital three days ago. His publicist says he is in critical condition. And in organ failure. Cassidy announced earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with dementia. Well, new at 6 00, an east bay road hit by a big landslide last winter is just reopened. Morgan territory road is the main way out from about 250 homes near clayton. In contra costa county. And the road opened to traffic at 5 00 this evening. Repairs were delayed after the slide in february. Because the ground kept moving. Now, a county contractor is finishing a rebuild, including new retaining walls and drainage. A Ribbon Cutting celebration will happen on december 2. Caltrans is working to remove more than 11,000 dead trees across the sierra. Part of an effort that began two years ago. Before the trees can be cut down, experts have to identify those that could be hazardous. A reporter Macey Jenkins has the latest on that project. Reporter walk, examine. Im just looking to make sure there is no damage. Reporter mark. This is a type of decay that we want to take a close look at. Reporter repeat. Up one side, down the other. So we have walked over 600 miles. Reporter this has been amy nichols routine for the last few months on highway 74. We are looking at the ones that may be a hazard to the public. Reporter so far her company, daily resource group, has marked 132 trees in the region and caltrans says dying and diseased trees create fire and road hazards. They will work with a tree removal expert to take down the trees. On i80, they marked 2,000 trees and highway 9, 1800 and on highway 20, 1500 trees. The thousands of trees are marked for removal and only some have been cut down and caltrans says if the tree is on private property, they talk to the homeowner first before they take any action. Frank lives along highway 174 and has three dead trees near the front fence. If it should break off and snap when somebody is coming around the corner or something, they dont know what hit them. He got a visit from cal tran. You can see the yellow turning right now. Saying they would remove his trees for free. How much do you think this would save you . I would say 3,000 easy with the three trees here. A project that cost the state 4 million on this highway alone. If they dont have to fight a fire because of that, homes are saved, lives are saved, and if they got the money for that, use it for that, and not for something else. Next year, the trees marked on highway 174 will be removed. Now, homeowners do have the option to keep the wood after the trees are removed, but if they dont want caltrans to cut the trees down, they are liable for any damage caused if the tree falls. Well, ski season officially is under way in northern california. As a number of ski resorts opened their slopes this weekend. Im ready to go for the gold coast. Here there for the first day of squaw. Cant wait to get out. They came out in droves for opening day at squaw valley. The early snow is giving them a good starting base and over the past four months, workers are working on renovations include a new avalanche mitigation system called draggen. We can control it remotely. So we can press the button, with no skiers out there, no staff up there, and we can do it any time, day or night. Squaws list didnt get much of a summer vacation. They didnt shut down until july 15 of this year. Making this summer their shortage offseason ever. All looking good there. And looking good for a dry sunday tomorrow. Then things will change come monday. Another weak little system is going to come down once again in classic fashion. It will favor the north bay instead of the south bay. And tomorrow is okay. We have sunshine, and chilly start. To sunday morning. With partly cloudy conditions, and a few high clouds up there, not much. And temperatures in the low 40s. By the time we finish, we will be up into the mid60s, inland. Thats for sunday. And here is how it looks reich now. Over san jose right now over san jose. Not too bad. 65 in concord.

Just a little gauze over the sun tomorrow, with high clouds. So sunny but cool for tomorrow. And wet on monday, mostly for the north bay. And then tuesday, it dries out. Right through next weekend. So mostly dry week ahead. Monday is the only glitch in that. And as you are looking for something to, do we will be telling about this every week, the holiday ice rink, you can go out and hit the ice. Low 60s at the embarcadero.

Fremont, 50. And san jose, 50. With sun up at 5 minutes to 7 00. High temperatures for tomorrow will be clustered within a few degrees of 61. So a little bit on the chilly side. But not too bad really. So partly cloudy, fair skies on sunday. And increasing clouds lead to a chance of not much on monday. North of the golden gate might get a few showers. South of the golden gate, a few showers. But tuesday and wednesday, we are back in the low 70s inland. And around the bay, we will be in the mid to upper 60s. And as we peer into next week end, well, saturday will increase clouds and then maybe next sunday, weve got another system coming in between now and then. And it is mostly dry, with emphasis on the mostly, juliet. All right, thank you. Still to come, the city of oakland launches a new program that aims to give low income children a college education. Details coming up. And in sports, the fight for the ax is going on, down on the farm, the raiders are getting ready to play the super bowl champions and somewhere among the cloud is vern glenn as they get ready in mexico city. Oakland today. For the official launch of brillia folks gathered at childrens fairyland in oakland for the launch of brilliant baby, establishing a 500 College Savings account for 500 babies born into poverty. One primary goal is to triple the amount of College Graduates from oakland Public Schools in the next decade. This is our way as a community of saying we support all of our families. We believe that every child in this city is brilliant and deserves every opportunity. The initiative will also offer low income parents financial coaching and Child Development support. Nice to see that. All right, well andrea is here, because vern is out of the country. Vern is out of the country. He has Gone International now. The raiders are technically playing a home game tomorrow but they are far from the coliseum. The silver and black are high above at 7,280 feet in mexico city. That is where we find our vern tkpwhraepb vern glenn with a preview. Greetings from mexico city. The largest metropolitan area in the entire western hemisphere. My gosh. Wow. This is crawling with people. Almost 24 Million People are here. Needless to say, there will be no grander stage for the raiders than at second stadium, with over 100,000 people there, and oh, by the way, they happen to be playing the super bowl champion, the new england patriots. Why do you think they have been so good . I dont know. Well, lets help amari cooper out. It starts with tom brady. Show nothing sign of slowing down at age 40. He leads the nfl with 2800 yards passing. Sunday will be derrick carrs first matchup with the future hall of famer. If i had to get more amped, we would have a problem. It is a good thing i dont play defense and im not playing him or we would be even in more trouble. Being on the road like this, there are less things to do. You know, my family is not here. My kids are not here. There is nobody telling me what i did wrong in the house. So you know, it is just being at home, and you know, now it is being here, and trying to figure out how to win a game. And i didnt mean that. So take that back. Oakland will be the home team on the scoreboard. And based on last years turnout, they expect to have a home field advantage. There is a lum. There is a buzz throughout the game. Offense or defense. But especially you know when were on defense, it gets really loud. That is, unless gronk wins them over, between now and kickoff. Any message for the people of mexico . My whole message, yes, baby. Probably out of camera view but i have my Running Shoes on. Because there is no elevators at the stadium. So i will walk and i will like it. And in an elevation at 2400 feet higher than denver, i will be out of breath. But i will deliver. Will the raiders . All right. From mexico city, that will do it, andrea, back to you in the studio. Thank you so much, vern. You can see the raiders and the patriots tomorrow at 1 25 right here on cbs. And vern will have a whole lot more from mexico city in the fifth quarter. Back here in the bay area, there is only one big game. Stanford, cal, are playing right now, and the cardinals are looking to keep the ax for an eighth straight year. San jose state looking to snap a ninegame losing streak. The spartans took it right down the field. Against Colorado State. On their opening drive. Dejohn packer scores on the 14 yard run. His first touchdown of the year. But it was all rams after that. Nick stevens, to a wide open cameron butler. He goes in untouched. Stevens throws for 305 yards. And three touchdowns. As Colorado State wins 4214, and san jose state has lost 10 straight and they are now 111. Miamis popular turnover chain was on display three more times today but the third quarter, the cavaliers up seven, benkert hits his receiver for a 2814 lead. But miami would respond. With what else . Another takeaway. Dequan johnson, pick six, earned him some time with the chain. The u ripped off 30 unanswered points to beat virginia, to remain undefeated. Alabamas jalen haerts had a huge game against mercer and only took seven passes. Hertz was a perfect seven for seven, 187 yards and three touchdowns before calling it day. That is pretty good. Alabama rolls. And plays auburn next saturday. There was another opponent that drew nick sabans wrath earlier this week. That is modern fashion. Not to offend anybody out there, but i just walked by some jeans, wore out jeans, holes in them, all cut up, i just remember when i was a kid in west virginia, i was ashamed to go to school because my jeans were wore out. Only because we didnt have any better. Now, they buy them that way. I just cant figure out how did we get here . And i know you sport your holy jeans all the time. Can i ask you something . Yes, you can. I know the answer is money by the way but what is the incentive for playing in mexico city . Yes, it is money. It is money. Where is the money . London and then go play in mexico city. They gather more fans. Is that it . So there is a luge fan turnout in mexico huge fan turnout in mexico city. There is a huge fan turnout. The stadium holds 100,000 people. And it is not just about the tickets on game day but getting them to be nfl fans and buy your gear. It is all money. Absolutely. I figured that. Okay. Thank you.

Tonight three people are now dead in an Apartment Fire in san jo our top story tonight, three people are now dead in an Apartment Fire in san jose. Neighbors tried to get to the family inside but couldnt. One person who survived is in critical condition. No word on the victims identity. Some welcome relief for wildfire victims. The fema office in santa rosa was filled with exotic animals today. The hope was to make visiting the agency fun for kids. While their parents filled out claims. Neighbors are also pitching in, dozens of people put out furniture and clothes and toys and food, for fire victims could pick up items for free. Only 5 tonight, 10 fors or 200,000 of California Elementary School students were truant last year and almeda county is taking a tough love approach for parents on kids who miss too many days. The adults get dragged to court. In the criminal court, the defendant is a parent, facing charges because their child was absent too much from school. I thought i was going to jail, the first day i came. His teacher has made a bun were of attempts to call you. True answer court is a last resort for parents of chronic absentees six to 12 years old. In california, a student with three or more unexcused absences or tardies in a year is considered truant but days turn into week, parents can end up in court charged with violating the state education code. A wakeup call for milano and her son. Mommy what will happen . Will you not come home . And so i was rally scared. Prosecutor teresa drennic started the program 13 years ago, to help moms and dads. In the worst cases, if parents dont comply, she says she can take more serious steps and even issue a bench warrant. But those are wear. We dont want to send people to jail. We dont want to fine parents. Each year, parents of about 150 kids go through Truancy Court and 90 improve attendance. Congratulations. Take eunika holzs daughter who missed two months of school last year because she was bullied. I told him i might have to go to jail with you not going to school and that pushed her to go to school every day. She discovered why kids are missing so much class time and often she uncovers family struggles like lack of transportation, abuse, violence, and for milano, homelessness. I didnt know where we were going to sleep that night. And the last thing that was on my mind was school. But drennic connects the family with services, counseling and other resources. This is life. And it shouldnt take away the opportunity for these little kids to succeed. And the consequences are far reaching. The sheriff says there is a correlation between chronic absences and crime. Studies have shown that if kids are not reading by third grade, they end up dropping out of school, and if they drop out of school, 80 of those end up in our custody. So the almeda county jail offers inmates a chance to take classes and finally earn their High School Diploma or g. E. D. The jail partners with a charter school. 125 students are in the Program Including 21yearold Mckayla White to dropped out of High School One semester before graduation. I just wanted to have fun. She just earned her High School Diploma behind bars. And eventually wants to start her own business. This feels like actual true happiness. Like i am actually going to still have the chance to do something, to follow the dreams that i used to have. The sheriff says the Educational Program gives inmates a Second Chance for success. Were not a hotel. We dont want them to return. But with Truancy Court, the hope is fewer young people will check into jail in the first place. We still have a chance. And thats i think, i think that gives a lot of people hope. So it is really our way of combatting crime, before the crime ever occurs. A court date for parents now, in hopes their children wont get locked up later. Sharon chen, kpix 5. Petaluma Police Arrested a 15yearold boy today. He is suspected of stealing more than a thousand dollars worth of alcohol, cigarettes, and lottery tickets from a convenience store. The burglary happened at the fast and easy mart. On petaluma boulevard north about 4 00 this morning. Police say the teen likely made several trips in and out of the star. Unlike most burglary, the suspect did not make a run for it. Officers found him in the parking lot. Well, a growing concern tonight about a loophole in californias strict vaccination law. There is new data showing a lot more Public School kids, have been getting medical exemptions since the you what took effect. Some state lawmakers believe doctors are manipulating the law, writing unnecessary or improper medical exemptions to allow children to avoid getting their shots. They are advertising that if youre interested in a medical exemption, come talk to them. The state senator richard pan says some of those sites have been taken down but the california medical boards says it is open investigations into close to 50 doctors who may have written invalid medical exemptions. Roy moore the Senate Candidate accused of Sexual Misconduct in alabama is forcing growing pressure to step aside. It may already be too late. Reporter alabamas secretary of state says it doesnt matter if the states republican Senate Candidate roy moore drops out of the special election. His name will still appear on decembers ballot. There is absolutely no way that the ballot can be changed, a candidate cannot be substituted for or removed from the ballot. I was terrified. Several women have come forward to accuse moore of sexual abuse. Unwanted kissing. Groping. And harassment. Tina johnson is one of them. She says moore grabbed her inappropriately while visiting his law office with her mother back in 1991 when she was 28 years old. The moment we walked in, it was full on assault. I mean he was really very flirtatious. It was so uncomfortable. I mean i knew something was up but i just ignored it. And he just grabbed me from behind. On my buttocks. And he just squeezed it really hard. Roy moore has not responded to repeated requests for comment on johnsons accusations. But he has vehemently denied the other womens allegations. Johnson explains why it has taken her so long to come forward. People didnt want to hear it. Your own family members dont talk about that. Saturday, a group of alabamas state leaders held a press conference to condemn roy moore over the recent allegations. While earlier in the week, leaders of various religious organizations held a press conference, announcing their support of the candidate. Despite all of the allegations against moore, he doesnt plan to quit the race. President trump has not spoken publicly about the allegations against moore. However, mr. Trump has commented about a democratic senator al franken. He tweeted about allegations against the lawmaker from minnesota. Later, frankens accuser, Leeann Tweeden read allowed from a handwritten note in which franken apologized. Mr. Trumps outrage in this case is bringing fresh attention to allegations about his own behavior. Last year more than a dozen woman came forward to accuse him of misconduct. The Trump Campaign denied all of those claims. And his former opponent, Hillary Clinton, spoke in a radio interview yesterday. Look at the contrast between al franken accepting responsibility, apologizing, and roy moore and donald trump, who have done neither. Mr. Trump said this morning, crooked Hillary Clinton is the worst and biggest loser of all time. She just cant stop, which is so good for the republican party. Hillary, get on with your life, and give it another try in three years. Well, coming up, a surfer is making waves in the scientific world.

Reporter the last thing 15 yearold riley miller expected while surfing small waves with friends from his polo team two saturdays ago. It shows his friend James Stanton before riley fell from the top of a wave, headfirst into two feet of water. I hit the top of my head. And like my whole body just went, like gone. Paralyzed. Face up. Floating. He tried to scream for help. Nothing came out. A muffled noise. Unable to move, he started to worry, the next set of waves could surely knock him down. A Junior Varsity water polo player and a future lifeguard. James swam to riley before the next set of waves. I came up and grabbed his neck and held it straightforward. Using a technique he used in junior guard, he dragged riley to the beach and flacked down a lifeguard. Riley was carefully loaded into a stretcher and taken to an ambulance. It was unbelievable that he walked away from that. Hours later, in a hospital bed, riley regained the use of his arms and legs and he had no serious pine spinal or neck injuries. God was watching out for him that day. Both teens learned a valuable lesson. Everything is unpredictable. You got to make every minute count.

You dont need softball fields, or you dont need coal or natural gas for backup anymore. Because solar has come down in cost. And batteries are coming down significantly as well. And when they are combined together, they are actually very efficient at providing electricity. And speaking of costs, that report has one more notable stat. The past decade has seen a dramatic drop in the cost of producing all of that Renewable Energy. Utilities scaled wind prices are down 47 . And solar prices are down 77 . So what does that mean for your monthly power bill . The cost will come down. Whether your utility is actually reducing their prices, correspondingly, that is a different story, but the cost of the energy definitely will come down. Pg e issued this statement that says in part, we stand ready to help the state reach its Ambitious Clean Energy Goals in a way that manages costs for our customers, ensures electric reliability, and gas safety that they expect and deserve. Along the Altamont Pass, kit doe, kpix 5. A turkey give away in oakland a few days ahead of thanksgiving. The Gospel Church handed out hundreds of turkeys on the parking lot on 66th avenue near the oakland coliseum. And people who showed up for the annual event enjoyed live music from the church choir. Your chance to visit victorian england, right here in the bay area. The great Dickens Christmas fair opened its doors at the cow palace in daly city today. A place where visitors can immerse themselves in the holiday experience of old england. And with authentic theater, dancing, food, and shopping. The food is superb. And of course the pubs are superb. Much for a little libation and for the children as well. And it runs for the next five weekends from 10 00 a. M. To 7 00, and it is free. That fellow robert young was a dead ringer for charles dickens. And fabulous as Marcus Wellby as well. That is a long time ago. And a look at san jose right now. With the lights regulatorring in the city. Temperatures concord 65 degrees. Morgan hill at 63. And livermore at 62. San jose, a city that mark twain once described as a beautiful little garden city of 5,000 inhabitants has changed a little bit. 65 degrees in San Francisco. And mostly in the mid50s now. And San Francisco has 56 now. And the same for san jose. Here is how it looks. High atop the west coast. High pressure is off of Southern California. Assuring a dry weekend. And a few high clouds from time to time. But not too much. And for sunday, monday, things change. But the future cast shows that there is not much. There is a few thin high clouds over us tonight and will be tomorrow morning. As the day wears on, there is not much on the way, until later on monday, clouds increase, and that is going to lead to a chance of showers north of the golden gate. That is on monday. Tomorrow is okay. Sunny, but cool. For tomorrow. And then the increasing clouds from a weak trough that is moving through, by the way, the models have gotten progressively less bullish on this, it seems that there is just not that much in it. So maybe north of the golden gate on monday. And a couple of tentths of an inch. South of the golden gate. Not much beyond light rain. All monday. Tuesday through the weekend looks dry. If not perfectly sunny. We will have a few clouds from time to time. Of the high variety. And if you want to have some fun tomorrow, how about the holiday ice rink . The embarcadero in San Francisco, sunny and 62 degrees. And then union square in San Francisco, sunny as well. And 62. Not to be left out, there is san jose again. Sunny skies for tomorrow. Downtown ice down there by the museum. 64 degrees. Well, lets do some checking, if youre heading up 101 and over to the coast, toward mendocino, it will be 54 degrees. Mendocino of course on highway 1. And eureka, 55 degrees. Redding, 61. And partly cloudy skies in the mountains. Nothing in the way of snow. At least not yet. And 61 for sacramento. And 66 at fresno. Monterey, 62 degrees. Heading out from sfo tomorrow, the weather wont be a problem anyway. Partly cloudy skies. And winds are out of the north about 10 miles an hour. And high tomorrow, 62 degrees. And down in in old mills field. As we have a look at seattle, 48 degrees, and rain. Chicago, 36, and partly cloudy skies, and l. A. Will hit 77, and overnight lows tonight, fairly chilly. And temperatures will get down to 46 at santa rosa, and 47 for livermore. And sun up on your sunday at 5 minutes before 7 00 a. M. And high temperatures tomorrow, will be in the low 60s. For the most part. San jose does get up to 66. And in the extended forecast, numbers tomorrow, pleasant, monday, the same. But weve got more clouds on monday. And a chance of showers, favoring the north bay. And tuesday, we will begin to clear it up. And tuesday through saturday, looking high and dry. Warming in the low 70s inland by midweek. Next weekend, it looks like maybe on sunday, the next sunday, we could be getting more rain. And more details on that, but first, weve got to generate some revenue. And this is how we do it. Human m the germ found in and on surfers may hold an important key to human health, everything from autism to alzheimers as well as the health of our oceans. Only on 5 tonight, kpix morning anchor kenny choi introduces us to the california researcher, surfing the world of microbes, and making waves waves in the scientific community. Catching a wave. It is as close as it gets to walking on water. What is there not to like . I can come out here and put my hands into the water, and feel the power of it. I just get taken away from every day life and enjoy what we have here. What we have here is in San Francisco and in beaches around the world, surfers immersed in water. And that is a subject of a new scientific study. Uc san diego researcher bio chemist cliff capono. I am hoping to find actual evidence, empirical evidence, that illustrates how related we are to the ocean. He is analyzing surfers, not for their style, but their microbes. We are only part human, you know, we are mostly microbial. About three pounds worth of microbes live on or in our bodies, mostly in our gut and tens of trillions of living organisms including bacteria, fungi and viruses. And it is called the micro biome and helps to govern human health and a good mix is a Healthy Human response and an abnormal mix could play a role in alzheimers, diabetes, cancer and certain autoimmune disorders. Trying to see how the microbes in us and on us affect these diseases. Surfers intimately interact with a second biome, the oceans. A question. Is there an exchange of microbes between the surfers and the sea and does that mix benefit human health. Is the surfer different than a person who spends their week in an office, or months or years. Can we detect differences . Interest rthere differences . He is a mate are there differences . He is a native of the big island of hon lieu. A skilled surfer. And he is passionate about his heritage. The polynesian people, the people i belong to, we were explorers of the ocean. He embarked on a different kind of exploration, a nine month quest that took him around the world and the goal is to collect hundreds of samples from surfers on the continents for a bione project. 20 million surfers across the planet. From ireland, morocco and spain and more, and surf the rugged coast and then swab surfers he met along the way and document the trip with a video camera. The swabs look like q tips and we welcome them on the skin, the eye, mouth, nose, chest, and the naval of the surf pwoad participants and ask them for fecal samples. And they had detailed questionnaires about their health and habits. 7 43 a. M. He also took a trip to San Francisco. So he ended up here, along the pacific coast. And at local surf shops. The water here is frigid. The reception was anything but. I mean we got more than enough participants to sample. And it was i mean it was really amazing. Reporter all surfer samples are shipped overnight with dry ice back to san diego and stored in a freezer. These are from ireland. He then ran sophisticated tests on them, analyzing their chemicals, as well as their genetic sequences. Each piece here represents a unique molecule. The day it is part of the gut project where scientists are analyzing hundreds of thousands of human micro biomes from children and adults from all walks of life. Trying to understand how the micro biome, the bacteria in our guts affect our overall health. He believes ocean microbes do play a role in helping surfers and by polluting the oceans, it pollutes the planet. And as for the surfers it is interesting. Cool. Trying to figure out in a scientific way how it works. In san diego, kenny choi, kpix 5. Results of the research will be available once the study is published. Fascinating. Yes. Absolutely. Thanks for watching. We will be back here at 11 00. And for news throughout the evening, the latest always on www. Cbssf. Com. Have a great night. We will see you at 11 00
